Author Topic: VI Test File Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 10-23-2018 02:06 PM                     Servers may apply a different audio routing depending on the feature being SMPTE or Interop. Then, Servers may act unexpectedly playing SMPTE and Interop content. There's this weird issue Rhonda has with one of her Christie IMB-S2.: http://www.film-tech.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=16;t=003420#000000 Again, Martin, create your own test HI/VI DCPs with DCP-o-matic! That way you always have them at hand, you know what's in them, and you can set them up exactly the way you need them. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-23-2018 09:37 PM                     SMPTE packages have channel routing included as metadata. Servers can treat internal routing mapping ok for IOP packages but ignore it for SMPTE packages. I've found inconsistencies, so we try to use the Odyssey board that does hard wired remapping of 11 and 12 to 7 and 8, this works with no server remapping for IOP and SMPTE DCPs.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 10-24-2018 03:23 AM                     And by the way - NATO has just declared April 9/2019 as the final deadline for Interop->SMPTE transition: https://www.dcinematools.com/index.php?option=com_attachments&task=download&id=11 ---- for some reason, copying the original text from the linked PDF is not possible on my system, even after conversion to different formats... ----- - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Martin McCaffery Film God Posts: 2481 From: Montgomery, AL Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-24-2018 10:05 AM                        So, NATO says all theatres should be converted. Does this mean all DCP processing houses will be sending SMPTE DCPs?  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 10-24-2018 02:34 PM                     yeah. "Voluntary" deadline. Roughly 350 "cinema locations" that are not ready for SMPTE packages, to be "encouraged to prepare". And this is only for NATO territory... USA and Canada. After some experience with cinema operators, I expect only a total end to IOP packages can pry any cash from their pockets to become SMPTE ready. As usual it's an economic argument. How much does it cost to carry dual inventory and to supply a few hundred screens with IOP DCPs and KDMs vs how much do those screens earn for the studios?  |  IP: Logged
